Your experience. Ready when the question comes.
Prepare, practice, and get personalized interview guidance in one local-first Windows workspace. Start free with Content and Profiles, then unlock the complete application with a one-time purchase — no required software subscription.
No Subscription NeededAnswers that sound like you, not generic AI.
Build a local knowledge base from your resume, projects, leadership stories, technical examples, company research, and questions to ask. Activate the right material for each company and role, then let InterviewNail use that context when it matters.
Your local knowledge base
Reusable notes: your resume summary, leadership stories, past projects, technical examples, company research, and more, organized once and reused for every interview.
Grounded in your background
InterviewNail can combine your Resume Summary, target role, company, interview stage, job description, focus topics, selected notes, and follow-up context to produce guidance grounded in your actual experience, not a generic script.
Relevant content, found for you
InterviewNail searches your active notes while an answer is being generated and ranks the closest matches, so you can jump straight to the supporting material behind any answer.
Listen to the question. Add context without stopping the flow.
Use Listen to capture the interviewer's voice from desktop audio. When you need to add your own clarification, correction, or instruction, use Listen to Me to capture your microphone separately. InterviewNail gives you control over which audio source is being used instead of treating every sound as the same input.
Listen
Captures interview questions played through the selected Windows output device — the interviewer's side of the call, from desktop audio.
Listen to Me
Captures your own microphone separately, on demand, so you can add a clarification, correction, or instruction without stopping the flow.
Tested before it matters
Choose a specific speaker and microphone or follow the Windows defaults, and test both audio paths before the interview starts.
Prepare, practice, and respond: all in one application.
InterviewNail is not only a live answer overlay. It's a complete workspace for organizing your background, practicing likely questions, checking your setup, and working through live interview material.

Local-first by design.
Your reference content stays local. Your voice is transcribed right on your computer. Temporary recordings are deleted. Screenshots are processed in memory, not saved to disk. Only what's needed to answer your question is sent to your selected AI provider.
What stays local
- Resume and reference content
- Interview profiles, until an AI request needs them
- Your voice, transcribed on your own computer
- Rolling transcript fragments
What's minimized
- Audio files are never sent to the AI provider
- Temporary audio recordings are deleted after processing
- Screenshots are compressed and held in memory, not written to disk
- Only completed text and context needed for a request are sent
What's protected
- Your API keys are encrypted, tied to your Windows account
- API keys are never saved in plain text
- Backups never include your sign-in details or saved keys
- Diagnostics exclude prompts, transcripts, and answers
"Local-first" not "everything stays local." AI requests still require the selected text, image data, or context to be transmitted to your selected AI provider or the InterviewNail proxy.
See the problem. Solve it. Explain it. Review what's wrong.
A screenshot often doesn't contain the complete prompt. InterviewNail can combine the screen with spoken context for a more complete input than screenshot analysis alone.
Screen Solve
Generates a complete solution based on what's visible — coding problems, SQL, architecture diagrams, and more.
Screen Explain
Produces a concise, high-level explanation of a diagram, error, or technical concept on screen.
Screen Wrong
Audits errors, likely bugs, broken states, layout, accessibility, and usability issues.
No surprises when the interview starts.
Verify your profile, Resume Summary, AI access, models, credit balance, local transcription, microphone, and speakers before the call begins — instead of discovering a problem after the first question.
Interview Readiness Check
- Active interview profile and Resume Summary
- AI access and model selection per workflow
- InterviewNail credit balance and auto-recharge status

Use OpenAI, use Anthropic, or purchase InterviewNail credits. Assign different models to live answers, follow-ups, screen analysis, test questions, and mock interviews — a fast model for routine questions, a stronger one for difficult coding or system-design problems.
OpenAI or Anthropic
Use your own API key, billed directly by your provider. No InterviewNail markup, no InterviewNail involvement in that spend.
InterviewNail credits
Prepaid, one-time purchase. No API account to manage. Credits don't expire, and non-AI features stay available even without AI access configured.
Make InterviewNail easy to read without disrupting your interview.
Keep the information readable, place it on the display you prefer, control how much space it uses, and operate important workflows without interrupting the interview.

Frequently asked questions
Is InterviewNail a subscription?
No. InterviewNail is sold as a one-time software license. AI usage is separate and can be handled through a personal OpenAI key, personal Anthropic key, or optional InterviewNail AI credits.
What is the introductory price?
The InterviewNail App is $79 during the introductory offer and $95 at regular price.
What is included in the bundle?
The bundle includes the InterviewNail App and 1,000 InterviewNail AI credits. This is for people who don't want to mess with getting their own AI API Key.
Does the one-time price include unlimited AI usage?
No. The app price covers the software license. AI usage is paid through a personal OpenAI or Anthropic account or through InterviewNail AI credits. The bundle includes 1,000 initial InterviewNail credits.
Can I use my own OpenAI API key?
Yes. Enter your own OpenAI key in-app and it's used directly from your device — never sent to InterviewNail.
Can I use my own Anthropic API key?
Yes, the same way as OpenAI — your own key, used directly from your device.
What happens after the 1,000 bundle credits are used?
You can purchase more InterviewNail AI credits at any time, or switch to bringing your own OpenAI or Anthropic key.
Can I refund my unused InterviewNail AI credits?
InterviewNail AI credits are non-refundable. If something's gone wrong (a mistaken purchase, a billing issue), contact support and we'll take a look.
Do InterviewNail AI credits expire?
No. InterviewNail AI credits never expire. That's as long as the business is active, which we hope will be for 500 years.
Is it possible to auto-add InterviewNail AI credits when my balance gets low?
Yes. Turn on auto-recharge from the customer portal, and more credits are added automatically when your balance gets low.
Can I transfer my credits to another license?
No. InterviewNail AI credits are tied to your application license key. Transferring credits between license keys is not possible.
What data is sent to AI providers?
Only the completed text and context needed for the specific request — such as your question, selected notes, and Resume Summary. Raw audio is never sent; it's transcribed locally first.
Is interview audio uploaded?
No. Your voice is transcribed right on your computer, and the audio itself is never sent anywhere. The text of your question and any relevant context may be sent when you ask for AI help.
Are screenshots stored on disk?
InterviewNail compresses screenshots and holds them in memory rather than writing them to disk for its screen-analysis workflows.
What does screen-capture exclusion mean?
On compatible Windows versions, InterviewNail can ask Windows to exclude its own windows from being picked up by certain screen-sharing or recording capture methods, with a warning shown if Windows can't apply it. This isn't a guarantee of "undetectability" — behavior depends on the Windows version, the capture method used, the meeting software, device management policy, and how the screen is actually being shared.
Does InterviewNail support multiple monitors?
Yes. You can select and cycle through connected displays and configure where InterviewNail windows appear.
Which Windows versions are supported?
Version 1 targets Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022 or newer, with Windows x64 and Windows ARM64 builds.
Are future major versions included?
Your license includes free updates within the major version you purchased. A new major version is a separate purchase. If you purchase a license for version 1, you get free updates to version 1. Once version 2 comes out, you'll need to purchase that version separately. We may offer upgrade discounts to users who purchased a previous version.
Can I deactivate or transfer a device license?
Yes. Manage which devices are active from the customer portal; deactivating a device frees up its seat immediately.
What happens when I run out of credits?
AI-dependent features pause until you purchase more credits or switch to your own API key. Local content, transcription, and non-AI features keep working.
Can I use local content and transcription without AI access?
Yes. Profiles, local notes, local transcription, and other non-AI features remain available even without AI credits or a personal API key configured.
When is AI assistance permitted during an interview or assessment?
That's determined by the interviewer, employer, assessment provider, and applicable policies — not by InterviewNail. You're responsible for confirming what's permitted before using AI assistance, recording, transcription, or screenshot processing in any given context.
